Why Most Digital Products Fail — And How a Free ROI Calculator Can Save Yours
Every day, thousands of creators launch digital products with big dreams — but most barely break even.
Why? Not because the product is bad, but because they never validate the idea with numbers.
The Harsh Reality
Here’s what often happens:
- You get an idea.
- You build it for 20, 50, or even 100 hours.
- You slap on a $10 price and launch on Gumroad.
- Then… silence.
Creators don’t fail from lack of effort — they fail from lack of strategy.
The Fix: Plan Profit Before You Build
The smartest way to approach product creation is to ask:
“Will this actually make money before I spend weeks building it?”
That’s why I built a free Digital Product ROI Calculator. It’s a simple spreadsheet that:
- Helps you estimate how many sales you need to break even
- Calculates your profit margin after Gumroad or Etsy fees
- Shows different outcomes based on pricing and growth rate
What It Helps You Avoid
✅ Building a product no one wants
✅ Underpricing and losing profit
✅ Over-relying on gut feeling
How to Use It (Takes 2 Minutes):
- Enter your product price
- Add your estimated cost/time
- Input your expected monthly sales
- See your revenue, profit, and break-even point
